Later, the royal couple visited Hellisheidi geothermal power station located in the southern part of the country between Reykjavik and Selfoss, where they got an introduction to Iceland’s excellent use of its natural resources. The power station in Hellisheidi produces both heat and electricity generated from the heat of the Earth and Iceland is a pioneer within this field.
